I think I know which boat you're talking about and I was on it a few weeks ago with the same results. Nothing but pout after pout I must have caught at least 30 of them. It was drop and reel fishing for them at times and at one point I would set the hook and realize right away what it was and just let it sit down there for a minute and hopefully spit the hook because I didn't feel like reeling it up from 100 feet and then dealing with getting the hook out. But remember according to our wonderful government pout are in danger and need to be protected because there's not that many around
I bottom fish on PBs fairly frequently and I've never seen that many pout in my life.
